🎯 Overview

Figma MCP Complete solves the biggest problem in design-to-code workflows:

The Problem ❌

Figma MCP (existing):
  → Returns only JSON metadata
  → Claude guesses colors, fonts, spacing
  → Needs manual fixes
  → 30 minutes per component ⏱️

Result: Frustration, mistakes, wasted time 😫

The Solution ✅

Figma MCP Better (this project):
  → Returns Screenshot + CSS + HTML + JSON
  → Claude knows exactly what to build
  → Ready-to-use code
  → 30 seconds per component ⚡

Result: Perfect accuracy, zero iterations 🎉

🚀 Installation

Prerequisites

  • Node.js ≥ 16.0.0 (Download)

  • Python ≥ 3.8 (Download)

  • Git (Optional, for GitHub)

Step 1: Download & Extract

# Download figma-mcp-complete.zip
# Extract to your desired location
cd figma-mcp-complete

Step 2: Install Dependencies

# Install Node packages
npm install --save-dev playwright

# Install Python packages
pip install opencv-python numpy pillow

# Optional: For Percy.io validation
npm install --save-dev @percy/cli

Step 3: Setup Environment

Create .env file:

cat > .env << 'EOF'
FIGMA_TOKEN=figd_xxxxxxxxxxxxx
SIMULATOR_PORT=3000
PERCY_TOKEN=percy_xxxxxxxxxxxxx  # Optional
EOF

Get your Figma Token: https://www.figma.com/developers/api#access-tokens

Step 4: Verify Installation

# Test the setup
node figma-mcp-comparison.js

# Output should show comparison of old vs new MCP ✅

⚡ Quick Start

Export Figma Design to HTML/CSS

# Set your Figma token
export FIGMA_TOKEN="figd_xxxxxxxxxxxxx"

# Export frame from Figma
node figma-mcp-better.js FILE_ID NODE_ID "Component Name"

# Results saved to:
# figma-export/
# ├── index.html       ← Copy-paste this!
# ├── style.css        ← Or this!
# ├── data.json        ← Or everything here
# └── tokens.json      ← Design system

Get Figma IDs

  1. Open your Figma file: https://www.figma.com/file/YOUR_FILE_ID/...

  2. Copy the FILE_ID from URL

  3. Right-click on a frame → Copy link → Extract NODE_ID

Example:

URL: https://www.figma.com/file/abc123def456/MyDesign?node-id=789:123
FILE_ID: abc123def456
NODE_ID: 789:123

Validate Design Accuracy

# Start your simulator/app
npm run start:simulator &

# Capture simulator screenshots
npm run capture:simulator

# Compare with Figma
npm run pixel-perfect

# Results:
# ✅ Similarity: 99.8%
# ✅ All colors match
# ✅ Typography verified
# ✅ Pixel Perfect!

📚 Usage

Basic Workflow

# 1. Export from Figma
export FIGMA_TOKEN="..."
node figma-mcp-better.js FILE NODE "Button"

# 2. Get HTML/CSS
cat figma-export/index.html
# <button style="background-color: #FF5722; ...">

# 3. Copy to your project
# Done! ✨

Advanced: Export Multiple Frames

// export-all.js
const BetterFigmaMCP = require('./figma-mcp-better');

const mcp = new BetterFigmaMCP(process.env.FIGMA_TOKEN);

const frames = [
  { id: '123:45', name: 'Login Button' },
  { id: '123:46', name: 'Signup Form' },
  { id: '123:47', name: 'Dashboard Header' }
];

(async () => {
  for (const frame of frames) {
    const result = await mcp.exportFrame(FILE_ID, frame.id, frame.name);
    await mcp.saveExport(result, `./exports/${frame.name}`);
    console.log(`✅ Exported: ${frame.name}`);
  }
})();

Run:

node export-all.js

Integration with Claude AI

// Use with Claude API
const BetterFigmaMCP = require('./figma-mcp-better');

const figmaData = await mcp.exportFrame(fileId, nodeId);

// Claude now gets:
// - figmaData.screenshot     → Visual reference
// - figmaData.css            → Styling
// - figmaData.html           → Code
// - figmaData.designTokens   → System

// Result: Claude writes perfect code! 🎯

📋 Examples

✅ Pixel Perfect Validation

How It Works

1. Export Figma screenshot → figma-baseline/
2. Capture simulator screenshot → simulator-screenshots/
3. Compare pixel-by-pixel → reports/
4. Generate heatmap of differences

Run Validation

# Capture simulator
npm run capture:simulator

# Compare with Figma
npm run pixel-check

# Or full validation
npm run pixel-perfect

🚀 GitHub Actions CI/CD

Automatic Validation on Push

The project includes GitHub Actions workflow that:

  1. ✅ Validates on every push

  2. ✅ Checks pixel-perfect accuracy

  3. ✅ Blocks merge if validation fails

  4. ✅ Comments on PRs with results

Setup GitHub Actions

# Copy workflow file
.github/workflows/pixel-perfect.yml

# Commit to GitHub
git add .github/
git commit -m "Add pixel perfect CI/CD"
git push

# Set branch protection
GitHub → Settings → Branches
→ Require status checks to pass
→ Select "Pixel Perfect Validation"

Require Pixel Perfect

Now you cannot merge without passing validation! 🔒

🐛 Troubleshooting

Installation Issues

"npm: command not found"

# Install Node.js
https://nodejs.org/

# Verify:
node --version
npm --version

"python3: command not found"

# Install Python
https://python.org/downloads

# Verify:
python3 --version

"ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cv2'"

# Reinstall Python packages
pip install --upgrade opencv-python numpy pillow

Runtime Issues

"FIGMA_TOKEN not set"

# Set token
export FIGMA_TOKEN="figd_xxxxxxxxxxxxx"

# Or create .env file
echo "FIGMA_TOKEN=figd_xxxxxxxxxxxxx" > .env

"Node FILE_ID NODE_ID not found"

# Get correct IDs from Figma URL
# https://www.figma.com/file/YOUR_FILE_ID/...?node-id=YOUR_NODE_ID

# Verify they're correct
echo $FIGMA_TOKEN

"Screenshots don't match"

# Check DPI consistency
# Ensure both screenshots are 2x scale (Retina)

# Manually verify
open figma-export/index.html
open reports/heatmap_*.png

Performance

Slow export?

# Reduce resolution
node figma-mcp-better.js FILE NODE --scale=1

Memory issues?

# Process one frame at a time
# Or increase Node memory
node --max-old-space-size=4096 figma-mcp-better.js
